"I started as a Laboratory Chemist in 1977 at an annual salary of $58,000. Considering my background, skill set and experience, I think I am equitably remunerated. I know there are colleagues who earn more or less than I do and that's ok. It will however be difficult to get a fresh college chemistry graduate who earns less than $45,000 in the North East of the country. In effect, I think I am paid what I am worth and merit."
